"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America 's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure.

It is a sign that the US Government cannot pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government's reckless fiscal policies.

Check it out! I got a thank you note from Barack Obama. If he is elected, maybe I have a get out of jail free card. All kidding aside, Im honored to be acknowledged by someone so important to the future of our country. Also, the Obama campaign asked me to do a poster illustration for sale on their site. It should be out next week on barackobama.com.-Shepardhttp://obeygiant.com/post/check-it-out ________________________________________________________

Here is the 'thank you' letter Barack Obama sent to Shepard Fairey: "Dear Shepard, I would like to thank you for using your talent in support of my campaign. The political messages involved in your work have encouraged Americans to believe they can help change the status quo. Your images have a profound effect on people, whether seen in a gallery or on a stop sign. I am privileged to be a part of your artwork and proud to have your support. I wish you continued success and creativity.

From David Horowitz's FrontPageMag.com/DiscoverTheNetworks.org:PROFILE: ANGELA DAVIS

* Communist professor at the University of Californias Santa Cruz campus * Recipient of the Lenin Peace Prize from the police state of East Germany in 1979 * Provided an arsenal of weapons to Black Panthers who used them to kill a Marin Country judge in a failed attempt to free Davis' imprisoned lover, Black Panther murderer George Jackson * Icon of the campus Left and frequent guest speaker at anti-war rallies * Leader of a movement to free all criminals who are minorities claiming that they are political prisoners of the racist United States* The only path of liberation for black people is that which leads toward complete and radical overthrow of the capitalist class.

Angela Yvonne Davis is a tenured professor in the History of Consciousness program at the University of California - Santa Cruz. A former member of the Black Panther Party, she is currently a University Professor, one of only seven in the entire California University system, which entitles her to a six-figure salary and a research assistant. This income is supplemented by speaking fees ranging from $10,000 to $20,000 per appearance on college campuses, where she is an icon of radical faculty, administrators, and students. Davis has also taught at UCLA and the State University of New York at Stony Brook.

Sheppard Fairy [Shepard Fairey] is a good artist, stupid but talented.

His talent is what makes him a dangerous communist propagandist. If he didn't have great skills he wouldn't be nearly as effective. The mindless a-holes/Obama supporters wouldn't buy or wear his commie prop images.

>> Sheppard Fairy [Shepard Fairey] is a good artist, stupid but talented. > His talent is what makes him a dangerous communist propagandist.

I agree. That is why in 2012 Fairey must become a scandal BEFORE he designs some eye-catching re-election artwork.

In 2008 the conservative media ignored him. We must make sure Fairey becomes a Wright/Pfleger-like scandal in 2012 -- and before the Democrat convention.

Also, keep in mind that in 2008 Fairey's artwork was sold in many venues (from autographed posters to coffee mugs) as a means of raising MILLIONS for Obama's campaign fund. Fairey is both a PROPAGANDIST and a MAJOR FUND RAISER. He must be blocked from becoming a 2012 fund raiser.

Obama has written Fairey that he admires "the political messages involved in your work."

The political messages in Fairey's art are:

1) Communist dictators are god-like supermen 2) The United States is a police state at home and an imperialist oppressor abroad 3) Capitalism is an evil system based on greed and exploitation 4) Ordinary Amerikkkan workers are guilty of blithely supporting an unjust system 5) The only good Americans are those who fight The System 6) The communist Peoples' Armies will soon triumph over Amerikkkan imperialism and bring peace to the world out of the barrel of a gun.
